There is one common denominator in most small talk conversations: “HOW’S THE WEATHER WHERE YOU ARE?”

Why is the weather such a topic of discussion? Because it’s safe. Everyone has an opinion on it, and you can’t argue whether someone’s wrong. If you don’t like the weather, just wait an hour – it’ll likely change.

If you’ve ever been to Mardis Gras – or any large scale drinking festival – then you know how hard it is to find a place to use the bathroom

Web Watch remembers one large festival with lines 30 minutes long for the porta-potties. Men were bypassing the relative privacy of the portajohns and were using the tree and weed-lined fence to take care of business.

We overheard a potentially horrible situation when one man apparently dropped his keys into the muck. His buddy shouted over, “dude – just leave ’em”. It’s stories like this that make you want to know…. the rest of the story.

We know, just from you reading this today, that you visit at least one website that we know about. And chances are, you got here after visiting a search engine or a link from another site.

And it’s really hard to guess what the LEAST VISITED WEBSITE IN THE WORLD is, because there are any number of purchased domains that some bloke is using for their own personal storage space rather than serving a public service. For every website that you may have heard of, there are likely thousands that are only known about by the person who purchased the domain name.

Whenever Web Watch travels around the country, we always try to “go local” whenever possible. We can eat at an Applebee’s or a McDonald’s almost anywhere… but we’ll go out of our way to chow down at an IN-N-OUT BURGER or grab a beer at the WYNKOOP BREWERY because, well, we can’t get that stuff locally.

Well, we could if we put some effort into the project, but you know what we mean. When you travel, you want to be like a native. If that means drinking sweet tea while in the South, or grabbing some BBQ in Texas, having a lobster roll in Maine — well, by golly, that’s what we’re going to do.
